Recently an article was published about our Buildings of Broadway project. We have received such a positive response from the community. Thank you. It is encouraging for us to have the positive feedback we have been receiving. We still are in the “wait” process with our grant application for the documentary with the Minnesota Historical Society. We are unable to start any work with the film until we are approved for funding under the grant guidelines. We are working on a side project of a website, which is separate from the documentary. The idea is a chronological timeline from 1940 to the present of every business that was in the buildings on Broadway.

We are currently seeking involvement from the community with whatever they would like to share. If there is a picture, a story or any ideas that could enrich and inform on this website we would love to know about it. As soon as we can get the funding for the film we hope for a near future release, but as we wait for any word on that, we’d like to continue with this other project. Thank you again, Albert Lea, for your support.
